Apologies for pre-flop bubble question, they are 10 a penny but I think this is slightly different.

6 handed game. $20 entry. $90 for first $30 for 2nd.

My note on big stack said 'solid'.

Note - the player to my right had just been knocked out so there is no SB in this hand. I post the BB.

i don't really see why you see this as remarkably different than other questions of it's sort, but hands of this sort are what mostly drive this forum (preflop bubble hands) so hey, no need to apologize.

i think that my play of this hand is different depending on the answer to this question:

will the grunda guy have to post the bb next hand or will he post the sb or no blind at all?

it may be that my answer shouldn't be different, but i dunno.

At the end this is no different than being ITM on a $33. However I would fold this hand since Grunda is all-in( at least his an absolute idiot)and push any 2 the next hand...maybe Im wrong.

Okay one bump.

I folded the hand and Big Stack showed 23o which I thought was interesting. I quite like his play here.

If anyone cares, he actually won with his 23 against grunda's A9 which gave me 2nd. I wonder though whether my fold was correct?
